Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Now with all the clarity of a dream
The sky so blue, the grass so green
The rank and file in the navy blue
Deep and strong, straight and true

The blue line, they got the given sign
The belts and boots march forwards in time
The wood and leather, club and shield
Swept like a wave across the battlefield

Now with all the clarity of a dream
The blood so red, the grass so green
The gleam of spur on a chestnut flank
The cavalry that burst upon the ranks

Oh, the iron will, and the iron hand
Bend England's green and pleasant land
No music for the shameful scene
That night, they say, it had even shocked the queen

And alas, we've seen it all before
Knights in armor, days of yore
Same old fears and the same old crimes
We haven't changed since ancient times
Now with all the clarity of a dream   The sky so blue, the grass so green   The rank and file in the navy blue   Deep and strong, straight and true      The blue line, they got the given sign   The belts and boots march forwards in time   The wood and leather, club and shield   Swept like a wave across the battlefield      Now with all the clarity of a dream   The blood so red, the grass so green   The gleam of spur on a chestnut flank   The cavalry that burst upon the ranks      Oh, the iron will, and the iron hand   Bend England's green and pleasant land   No music for the shameful scene   That night, they say, it had even shocked the queen      And alas, we've seen it all before   Knights in armor, days of yore   Same old fears and the same old crimes   We haven't changed since ancient times
